Crypto market scanners compared on criteria you can verify yourself

Crypto market scanners differ more than their names suggest. Some scan for chart patterns, some for indicator values, some for volume spikes, and a few let you combine conditions across timeframes. This page compares a handful on criteria you can check on each product’s public site, and is explicit where a site does not say.

How this comparison was made

For every product named here, the public website was opened on 23 October 2026 and only what the page states was recorded. The URLs and the date are listed in the Sources section at the end of this page. Three rules apply.

• “Stated” means the page says it. Where a feature is not mentioned, the table says “Not stated on the page”. That is not the same as “no”. The product may well have it.
• No invented features. Nothing is attributed to a product unless its page says so.
• No rankings. The right scanner depends on what you scan for. There is no score at the end.

Products change faster than pages like this one. Treat the table as a map of what to check, and open the product’s own site before you decide. Moolish is the publisher of this page and is listed alongside the others, so read its row with that in mind.

The criteria

The criteria come from the way a TD Sequential trader who confirms with volume and candle patterns tends to work, and each one can be verified on a public page.

Comparison table

Market counts are not like for like. Moolish counts 1,655 exchange and symbol pairs that had bars in the seven days before 23 October 2026, which it rounds down to 1,600+. Other sites count pairs, markets or exchanges in their own way, so do not rank products by these numbers.

What the table shows

Three things stand out, and none of them is a verdict on quality.

1. TD Sequential is not stated on any of the competitor pages. That does not mean they cannot do it. It means that a TD Sequential trader has to ask each vendor, or look for an indicator that supplies it.
2. Multi-timeframe rules are common. Several products let one rule look at more than one timeframe.
3. An ordered sequence is the rarest. No competitor page checked describes steps that must happen one after another. TradingView’s help page describes conditions met simultaneously. Moolish orders events on one symbol in Chains, and gives each timeframe its own lookback window in Scan Events.

What kind of scanner are you looking for

The products above fall into rough groups, and picking the group first saves time.

Reading the gaps honestly

A page that says nothing about a feature is a weak basis for a conclusion. Marketing pages list what a vendor wants to be known for, and documentation, changelogs and indicator libraries often go further. If TD Sequential, volume grades or candle patterns matter to you, the practical step is to ask each vendor directly, or to open a trial and look for the signal in the picker. That is also how you should treat Moolish. The names in this page’s Moolish row are the names shown in the app, and each signal’s rule can be read there before you rely on it.

Questions to ask any scanner

These questions apply to every product, including Moolish, and are worth asking before you rely on one.

• Does it detect on closed bars, or can an alert fire on a bar that later changes?
• What is the delay between the bar closing and the alert arriving, and has it been measured? Moolish detects on the closed bar and sends method-event alerts to Telegram right after the bar closes; Candle-shape alerts follow shortly after.
• Can I read the rule behind each signal, or is it a black box?
• Can I combine signals, and does order matter?
• What happens to my alerts if I stop paying?
• Does it claim returns? A scanner that promises profit should be treated with suspicion. Moolish makes no claim about profit or performance.

Where Moolish fits

Moolish is for traders who read TD Sequential and want volume and a candle to agree. Its distinguishing feature is combining events and candle shapes across timeframes and assets: one card per timeframe with its own lookback, a Market condition gate on another pair, and Chains for ordered steps on one symbol. It is a poor fit if you want a general charting platform, scripting, chart-pattern detection such as flags and head and shoulders, markets outside crypto, alert destinations other than Telegram, or a scan across several exchanges at once. Moolish scans one exchange at a time, delivers to Telegram only, and turns alerts off while the market scope is narrowed. For those, the products above, or the combination of a charting platform and Moolish, may suit you better.

Start with the multi-timeframe scanner guide to see how a single condition, several cards and a Chain differ, then the event chain alerts guide for a worked example on real data.
